Installing base cabinents - question

Hello :
I'm installing 6 unfinished base cabinents. This is my first time doing
such a task in my house. I have 1 corner cabinet, then one base to the left
of that, and 4 bases to right of the corner base.
My question is this : how do I attach them to the wall and to each other,
so they form one "solid" system ? Also, between the cabinent doors, where
each cabinet meets the other, there is a visible line that forms there
obviously. What do people do to conceal that or make it as invisible as
possible ?
Thanks for all the help !

You need to make sure that the cabinets are absolutely plumb and level. Shim
between the wall and cabinet where you put screws through into the wall
studs. Make sure the floor is level. If not, start at the high spot in the
floor, or account for the floor when setting the first box. Shim the floor
and wall to get the boxes plumb and level. Set the first box, and add more
from there. Clamp and screw the boxes togather in the front of the cabinet
making sure that the faces of the cabinets are absolutely even. Any seam
between the cabinets will be barely visible if you are carefull.
You may have better luck assembling two or three cabinets togather before
screwing them to the wall.
